Birdwatchers have told us they saw more birds at breakfast at the Balboa Inn then during their trip to the famous pipeline road. The locks at Miraflores are a must-see. If you take the train along the Canal, you'll be a 15 minute drive for old colonial history at the San Lorenzo fortress, inside San Lorenzo National Park. Seeing howler monkeys here is almost a given. On your way there, you can visit the Gatun locks, the Panama Canal's biggest set of locks that take ships up 24 meters (80 ft.) to the level of Gatun Lake. It takes little imagination how the Spanish ships were anchored here, waiting to be loaded with the gold taken from Peru. The world-known Pollera of Panama. Below a view of the Panama entrance and Canal locks at Miraflores. On the foreground Albrook airport (a 5-minute drive from the Balboa Inn). Another of our hand-painted murals on our breakfast terrace. The day at the Balboa Inn starts with a very complete breakfast on our garden surrounded terrace filled with birds. A separate terrace is provided for smokers. In the background you see our two new recently added rooms. Below a view of the inside. There are our comfortable tripple rooms with a queen and twin bed. They have windows on both sides and excellent thermal isolation so if you don't like air conditioning you'll be quite fine with just the ceiling fan. Remember, at the Balboa Inn you don't have to keep the windows shut to keep the noise out! And we wrap up this list of images of another picture of what all our guest love: our very green garden, a playground for birds day-round.
